NEWS FLASH!!!
To all owners of Freightliner and Western Star Class 8 trucks with Detroit Diesel engines!!!
Effective January 4th, 2016: The number of teeth on the GHG17 Detroit Diesel 13/15/16 engines has changed. FL0189 can no longer be used with these new engines. The NEW Diamond Gard Part number for these GHG17 engines is FLA579.

All Mitsubishi Electric 105P55 starters adhere to SAE standards which stipulate proper pinion travel distances for starters with SAE types 1 and 3 mountings. Some medium-and heavy-duty engines which use these mountings require the use of a spacer (Figure 1) between the starter and the flywheel housing’s starter mounting flange to maintain proper distance between the starter’s pinion & engine’s ring gear.

Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America, Inc. has discontinued All Makes part number PC0779, and replaced it with PC1479. This service bulletin outlines the functionality, installation and troubleshooting differences between these two parts.

Summary

The primary difference between the outgoing model and the PC1479 is the relocation of the Integrated Mag. Switch (IMS). Relocation of the IMS allows the PC1479 model to be used on a wider range of applications.
